Irony being that the entire Farage-isation of British politics is built on the phenomenon of white right-wingers who don't want to "integrate" with the reality of multi-ethnic Britain, don't want to accept migrants as their fellow citizens, and don't want people of colour moving into their street.

Absolutely this. The diaspora communities in this country are not accountable for the actions of Foreign Governments nor are they representatives of Foreign Governments. Our Home Secretary should not be muddying the waters.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I think its really problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the attack that happened yesterday to try and silence protest in this country against the genocide. They're separate issues.. we need to be clear what this govt is doing"

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Classic example of someone who joined the Labour Party only cos it's the one they were most likely to get elected in their area for.

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

And did you say "what the fuck are you talking about?"

Caught today’s @arsenalfc.bsky.social match with Spike Lee in Fort Greene (not a sentence I ever thought I'd get to write).

Hahahahaha

More than 70 civilians killed in attack on mosque in Darfur’s el-Fasher UN report says ethnic violence has risen and civilians are bearing brunt as war continues between Sudan’s army and RSF.

70+ worshippers at the Al-Safiya Mosque in El Fasher were killed in an RSF drone strike today, Friday, when Jumah services means mosques are full.

The UAE, which backs the RSF despite it being accused of genocide, continues to face no scrutiny from its western security partners, including the US.

I haven't- I was weighing it up but after yesterday I decided to hold off. It's v good to know it's not all depressing!

Jury's still out for me, though - let's see.

Watching tonight's Novara Live to try and work out what the heck is happening with Your Party. Joshua Virasami was great - the "Our Party" demands and plan seem like the most sensible way forward if there's any chance of pulling it off.

Anthony Gordon's dedication to recreating all of Princess Diana's iconic looks is to be admired

It's so difficult keeping in the loop with Your Party shenanigans that I'm considering using Twitter again

Who could possibly have foreseen?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social raises the issue of the super rich & companies giving money to politicians

Labour MP Meg Hillier pretends to be aghast - are you suggesting ministers make decisions because of those donations?

Zack: "Those people don't give them.. millions of pounds for nothing"

The disgraced and increasingly radicalised East Thurrock ex-Reform MP James McMurdock began the spelling out of the N word with other users on Twitter!

Some words of support for the UK’s Black and Asian populations - 1 in 6 people - that racism won’t be tolerated might be useful from our government right now but no they’re waving 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flags.

Good to see I am top of both of the Fantasy leagues I'm in. Stop the count!

Ruben Amorin saying "Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years"

To be fair, if nothing else, he's relatable! 😂

We are writing to you in support of ASLEF members in relation to your vile victimisation of a trade union member who raised health and safety concerns with you. After 73 days of action, which have seen growing support for the unfairly victimised trade union member, we are urging you to reinstate the member affected and to end this dispute now. Trade union activity, including raising vital health and safety concerns, is fundamental to the role of effective trade unions in the workplace.The actions of Hull Trains management could damage safety culture across the rail industry. Today, on 29 August, we stand in solidarity and will be encouraging our members to join the solidarity rally. We will continue to use the full power and ‘weight’ of our movement to make sure Hull Trains is held to account for these actions. We urge you to reinstate the colleague affected and ensure an end to escalating levels of action and wider campaigning from our whole movement.

We look forward to you doing the right thing by your staff, commuters who use your trains, and the wider community. We stand in solidarity with all trade union members at Hull Trains. Yours Sincerely

BREAKING 🚨 | 30 trade unions have written to Hull Trains warning their actions could damage safety culture across the rail industry.

Our movement is united in rejecting attacks on union members.

We stand with all @aslefunion.bsky.social members.

Read & share the letter👇

I know some of you white centrists have a hard time believing middle class professionals like Keir Starmer can be racist but if you actually talked to people of colour you might understand that it’s more common than you’d think

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are absolute charlatans!

Fair play to Grimsby, what a stupid night 🤣🤣

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Just before this match started Rob managed to get us a couple of tickets for Burnley at the weekend so that'll be interesting!

Feel like Harry Maguire last minute-rs are inevitable in cup games haha

Once again, people who are protesting hotels are not ordinary. If you have travelled to a location, bought a flare, printed a t-shirt with a niche far-right slogan, you are by definition out of the ordinary, and you are almost certainly exceptionally politically engaged and ideologically hardened.
